Fly micro vibe - vibrator by Fun Factory - review by Sam (aka Jul!a)

This micro vibe from FunFactory is intended for vaginal insertion and stimulation. Of course there's absolutely nothing stopping you from using it on a clit, nipples, penis, or testicles. Some may find the plush silicone absorbs too much of the vibration to make it useful in clitoral stimulation.

No matter which way you use this little guy (except anally, don't use this anally), you're guaranteed a good time. Great for beginners due to its small, non-intimidating size, this is also a great choice for more seasoned toy users who prefer smaller toys as well.

Fly's sleeve is made of a really plush and squishy matte silicone. It's non-porous, hypoallergenic, and free of phthalates, latex, or anything else that might bother you. While firm, the silicone sleeve does have a whole lot of give, bending easily all the way down to where the bullet sits.

The material itself has a slight drag to it that some water based lube will take care of no problem.

Fly has a very smooth, velvety texture except for a pair of what I believe to be flowers, located on the top, one set on each side. They can't really be felt all that well inside the body, but can be used to add an extra bit of stimulation externally. Otherwise the whole silicone sleeve is very smooth.

There's a slight smell to it that I can't quite place, and silicone does have a tendency to pick up scents. So if for whatever reason yours starts to smell a little funky, wash it really well (or boil the sleeve) and let it sit out and air dry for a few days.

The only downside to this silicone is that it's a lint magnet. It reaches down deep into even old towels and pulls out any little stray fiber it can and clings for dear life. Keep this in mind when storing it.

Fly is a micro vibe, and while bigger than most bullets you see, it's small enough to easily stash in a purse. With a total length of about 4 1/2" with about 3 1/2" being insertable, it has a 1" diameter that even the most beginner user should be able to comfortably take.

The fact that FunFactory gave Fly some curves instead of just being straight up and down definitely adds to the sensations and the overall 'funness' of this toy. The head and the base are about the same circumference, with a dip in the middle resulting in fun times for your vagina.

The bullet that provides the vibrations rests in one end of the silicone sleeve, and it's held in there really well. The part that sticks out unscrews to let you add the batteries, and is sealed with a silicone O-ring.

Fly is discreet in that it's tiny. Leaving it out on a nightstand will probably get you caught, but Fly is easily tucked just about anywhere to keep it out of sight.

Women who like bigger toys to be inserted probably won't have much use for this tiny little guy, but beginners and women who know they like smaller penetrating items will enjoy this little vibe.

The vibrations are controlled by a small bullet located at one end of the vibe. That end is where the vibrations are the most strong, but they carry very well, even through the plush silicone. The bullet itself runs on three coin cells (LR44) and a set of are included in the box. These load with the positive terminal facing down and the negative terminal facing the spring in the cap.

The controls are super easy to use too. One the external end of the bullet there's a small push button. It lets you cycle through 3 different vibration levels before turning off again. One click for each level, giving you 1-2-3-off. The first level is super quiet, and fairly tame. The second is pretty strong, enough to start making my hand go numb just with the toy sitting in it, and is still really quiet. The strength is definitely enough to make your hand go numb fairly quickly on the highest setting. Even on it's highest setting, I've still heard cell phones vibrate louder.

The vibrations themselves are of the deeper, rumbly variety.

I have brought this micro vibe into the shower with me and it lived to tell the tale, and revisit the shower a few more times. If you're unsure that you've got a good seal on the o-ring on the battery cap, then please don't take this little guy anywhere really wet.

Care is really easy. The bullet comes out to be able to clean it separately from the sleeve, which on its own can be boiled for 3 minutes to clean it. Otherwise FunFactory recommends cleaning with lukewarm water and mild soap before the first use and after every use after that. I spray mine down with my favorite toy cleaner most of the time, and once every few weeks gets a good scrub down.

Make sure to only use water based lubes with this little guy, as the properties that keep silicone lube liquid-y can potentially do the same thing to your new toy, and that would be bad. You should also remove the batteries in any toy you are storing, but you can easily keep them all together in a plastic baggy either with the toy, or near the toy.

As far as storing this little guy goes, keep him in anything that doesn't shed. Fly is a terrible lint, dust, and other particle attractor. Personally, I keep mine in the original box it came in.

The box itself isn't all that exciting, but it's put together really well and looks really nice. The back has a picture of this vibe in both the colors it's offered in. The right side has all the little disclaimers in cute little pictures, the left side gives you a short description of the toy in 4 different languages: none being English. The front has a window, offering you a fantastic view of your pretty new toy.

Fly comes in a clamshell type plastic case, and it stays shut on its own, making it fairly suitable for storage, but only if it won't get bounced around a lot. You also get a sample of ToyFluid, FunFactory's water based lubricant, and a little pamphlet that tells you what you've bought, how to use it, what it's made of, how to clean it, and what not to do with it, all in 8 different languages. There's also a panel devoted to a diagram of the toy and a description of what the features and functions of the toy are.

The packaging itself is great for storage, that's where I keep mine, but it isn't the most discreet. It says vibe on there a few times, and love yourself. Basically, make sure to keep it hidden in a drawer or something. Since it is so small though, that should be easy to do.

Really, this is not something you want to stick in your butt. You don't want to explain it to the doctor who's going to have to remove it or explain to your friends why you had to go to the doctor. Make sure to never use this anally. Please.

I've found the Micro Fly Guy to be best for shallow vaginal thrusting. Oh, it feels so lovely. The silicone's slight drag provides the right amount of friction for me and I suspect the little flowers don't take away from anything either.

I've used it to stimulate my fiance's nipples, various areas of his penis, as well as his sack. He's used it on my nipples and we've tried it for my clit. For me , the silicone is too plush and squishy to provide enough pressure to give me anything more than a tickle when being used on my clit, so it failed there. Although if you don't need as much pressure, it doesn't get in the way during sex, and if it works for you, it'll be great there.

So it doesn't come out much for partner play, but I use it fairly frequently on my own. And I'd gladly recommend it to anybody looking for something small, quiet, powerful, and safe.
